"Forever In the Moment"

Summer days.
We're inside today.
Heat outside like a fire ablaze.
Cool waters splash,
With grandchildren at play.

Feeding little fishes in a pond,
It's a wondrous display.

Patches of greens,
Here and there.

Around the kitchen windowsill.
Watered with the breathe of life,
As you enter the front door.

Sun filled place, a glorious glow
Year's being pulled to December.
Nearly over, halfway there.

Forever in the moment,
The momentum is always
Going there...

Above my heart
Within the peace in my head
Myself at rest I have found this world
In a card unfolding with a bit of my love.

Words streams together in a stream
Out to the sea, to the open ocean.

How calm truly can we be?

But in this time between these lines,
I hold your mind helplessly
With the power of my poetry.

How calm truly can we be?

Though I stand two feet tall elsewhere
Whatever I dream it's never too big,
A feat,
As in this card I don't plan to skip,
A beat.

How calm truly can we be?

Locked in my thoughts,
I pray,
I wish,
An interconnection without,
The stressfulness beyond it.

All things end...
Even the spell of this card.

But don't think me so dim,
Because my shadow doesn't extend,
I am only a sometimes,
Manic Little Lord.

And can only prolong a wish
Along my woeful wordings
Only hoping a lot of joy,
Will stick to our outside world.
